May I know which is the best way or app to read HN on Macbook Air? I found an app called "Octal for Hacker News" on App store but it only works with M1 chipset.

Has Apple products always been fragmented like this?

No, because the M1 is new.

Too bad Apple doesn't support old devices anymore

Throw the MacBook up on gumtree and go buy a device that isn't from the most cancerous of companies. Breath calmly as you read the news whilst not supporting the cancer that is apple?

Or just you know, DL firefox and ignore the fact your supporting apple while whispering sweet nothings like "it's for my safety they lock down the app store" and continue to go about your day as normal.
